Because sometimes three words is all you need...

They say less is more, so this is our attempt to sum up all the wonderful things about our counties in as few words as possible.

But trust us, it wasn't as easy as it sounds.

Here we go:

Antrim: Birthplace of Titanic

Armagh: Apple cider & cathedrals

Carlow: Students and Saoirse

Cavan: Lots of lakes

Clare: Fr Ted's house

The most recognisable house in Ireland?

Cork: Pure proud people

Derry: Murals & Derry Girls

Donegal: Cliffs, cars & craic

Donegal, ain't she beautiful?

Down: Jamie Dornan, anyone?

Dublin: Mix for six?

Fermanagh: Stairway to Heaven

Galway: Craic agus ceoil

The craic goes on well after the sun sets in Galway.

Kerry: The Healy-Raes

Kildare: Christy Moore & horses

Kilkenny: Unreal at hurling

Laois: The Electric Picnic

Leitrim: Carrick-on-Shannon

Limerick: Rugby & The Cranberries

Longford: Center Parcs Ireland

Louth: The Kearney brothers

Mayo: Mayo For Sam

Meath: Impressive ancient stuff

Newgrange is the centerpiece of Meath.

Monaghan: Patrick Kavanagh's poems

Offaly: Bogs and Shane Lowry

Roscommon: Lough Key & lamb

Sligo: Surfing & Normal People

Marianne and Connell have taken Sligo global.

Tipperary: Rock of Cashel

Tyrone: Bog snorkelling enthusiasts

Waterford: Vikings, blaas & beaches

Westmeath: Full of musicians

Wexford: The strawberry capital

Wicklow: Seriously stunning scenery

So...how'd we do?
